Thanks everyone. I have confirmation....it IS May apple. My brother has been a grounds keeper for 20 years....and he happened to stop in for the weekend....we went mushroom hunting in my woods ( didn't find any) but he confirmed it IS May Apple. Thanks again!!

Im not leaning towards the winter aconite...because this stuff grows "wild" all around Indiana. The May apple...maybe...but the stems on the May apple look to eb more of a woody stem, these are more of a soft juicy stem. I just dont know if its safe to put my goats where this stuff is growing.?

No, the white flowers are a seperate plant.

This stuff does not vine up. Its low to the ground...maybe 5 or 6 inches tall.

This "plant" grows throughout my property. I cant find what it is...and would like to know if it is poisonous? Anyone know?

Thanks Hattie....I guess thats what it is. It has been very hot, and humid, and lots of rain...my poor grapes. Looks like no jelly for me this year. darn!

OK, so these grapes are only 3 ears in the ground. I was so excited to see all the grapes coming on...then...this :( Whats happening to my grapes!?? What can I do!? Is it too late to save them!??? :hit

As they grow taller, you cover them...so the stems can produce more potatos. The more you cover, the more taters! ;)

Mine have YET to bloom! Jeesh! They have a bad case of Flea Beetles....which I am treating with DE. Thats what the website reccomended. But...still no blooms.. :/

Yes, they jumped. Flea Beetles!?? Thats a new one to me! I have never seen anything like them before...and I have been gardening for years! Did they come with my seed potatos? The potatoes are about 2 ft covered already, I did them in wire cages....layering straw and compost and some soil. Flea...

I went out today after a good hard rain, to check the garden. My potatos leaves are full of little holes, and there are these super tiny little black beetle looking bugs on them. Anyone know what they are? I sprinkled with DE..will this work on a beetle type bug? These beetles are super tiny.

Thanks Ridgrunner....once they dry out, I will pluck them off...and save them untill October, then plant them, and see what happens. Interesting...Hmmmm.

Sylvie...comeon down to Indiana....I have literally HUNDREDS of Elderberry bushes....they make the BEST jelly. :drool

Well, here it is June..and still no blossoms on my taters. :/ We have had the worst weather...cold, wet..then in the upper 80's, then back to the lower 50's. Oh, they are growing faster than I can keep them covered....its not a great pic...but here they are, as of today...they have 4 layers of...

Allen, I would love to get some of those seeds!! Please...tell me you still have some!! :D
